The 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono has been declared the most beautiful bike of the year at EICMA 2023.
Every year, the Italian motorcycle publication Motociclismo polls EICMA visitors on their favorite bikes of the show. In 2022, the Ducati Diavel V4 took home the prize, making it the 12th time that Ducati has won in all the years the event has been held.
Visitors at EICMA 2023 selected the top 10 bikes, and here are the results:
| Number | Year/Make/Model | Percentage of the Vote |
| 1. | Ducati Hypermotard 698 RVE | 35.12% |
| 2. | Moto Guzzi Stelvio | 19.45% |
| 3. | Moto Morini Corsaro Sport | 11.34% |
| 4. | Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports | 8.01% |
| 5. | Aprilia RS 457 | 4.99% |
| 6. | Suzuki GSX-8R | 4.69% |
| 7. | Bimota Tera | 3.44% |
| 8. | Triumph Scrambler 400 X | 2.48% |
| 9. | Fantic Caballero Rally 500 | 2.26% |
| 10. | Benelli TRK 702X | 1.74% |
About 25,500 voters participated in the poll, which brought Ducati’s total wins to 12. It’s also worth noting that no non-Italian bikes have ever won the award. MV Agusta holds second place in total number of awards, winning the title in 2021 with the MV Agusta Superveloce Ago.
Could attendees be biased? Possibly. However, Centro Stile Ducati has a knack for creating visually stunning bikes. The award was collected on behalf of Ducati by Centro Stile Ducati director Andrea Ferraresi.
